The New York Sun says that Billy Taylor,
the old time pitcher who has been signed by
New Haven, has good northern record, but
was batted pretty hard while in the South.
The New Ravens play at Hamilton Park
this afternoon with the Waterburys. An in
teresting game may be expected
When Manager Donnelly took hold OF the
Danburys he Immediately began to make
them play ball on Sunday. The directors
last week decided that the team should play
no more ball on those days, the same the
directors of the New Ravens decided.
Cain, of the Bridgeports, was reinstated on
Saturday.
On Friday when the Bridgeports came to
New Haven they could get no means of con-
vevance to the park, as every vehicle was in
use, it being Dedication day. Manager Kelly,
in the face of the unjust and ungentlemanly
remarks made by Manager Shannon to a
Bridgeport reporter in regard to the umpiring
of Manager Kelly the week before here when
Umpire Tracy was hurt, placed the two cabs
he had reserved for his own team at the dis
posal of the Bridgeports and saw that they
were all at the park before he got his team
there, thus delaying the game fifteen minutes.
The very next day in Bridgeport Manager
Kelly sent a small boy over to the bench on
which the Bridgeports we're sitting and
asked if he could have pail of water for his
team. OOu0 Ol tu0 uSco UdSChIAo
manly language and told the boy to tell
Manager Kelly to get the things himself. A
very kind return, to say the least, for what
Manager Kelly had done for them the day be-
fore.
Ali the Bridgeport papers yesterday print
ed the full score of the Bridgeport-New Haven
game there on Saturday, probably because the
Bridgeports won.
New Britain will not enter the league. The
New York Reserves want to enter from Coney
Island, but that is out of the question. A
movement is on foot to get the Meriden Res
o1utes to enter.
Danbury has signed new pitcher named
Greeley from the South.
The Cincinnatis have been endeayoring to
secure Lovett, tie celebrated pitcher of the
Bridgeport team, but were not successful.
They offered fancy price for his release and
had matters almost satisfactorily arranged
when Levett put an end to all negotiations
by stating that he did not care to leave the
Bridgeports to join League or Association
experience is certainly good teacher to Low
EFT. He tried the League and also the Asso-
citation and was failure. He was glad to
get back into smaller league, where he will
likely remain.
The great secret of ball clubs success is
their ability to play together. Great aggre-
cations of star players are not, somehow, the
ones which win, as the history of base ball
shows. There is such thing as loading too
many big players into team. Before the
accession of Dunlap the Detroit club last
year had good lead, but afterwards lost the
pennant. This year they won right along
while their team was disabled, and after
wards with their best men it began to lose.
The Browns success is due to the thorough
understanding they have of each other and to
a kind of compatibility which seems to exist
in the team, and which, once broken, may
result in weakness which cannot be reme-
